{{Main|Ainu Mosir#History}}
Tokugawa loyalists, controlling the island of Ezo, repelled Russo-Sakai invasions in 1810, 1812 and 1816. Throughout the 1810s and 1820s, the Sakai eventually gave up on trying to actively conquer the island and instead attempted to starve the Tokugawa of political capital by issuing an ultimatum to all its trading partners - do not interact with the Tokugawa or they would cut off trading relations. However, this was an unsuccessful strategy, and the idea of conquering Ezo faded from the list of priorities.
